Super impressed with the quality of this pack. This is my first Pingora pack so I have no previous experience. But the stitching, and material quality is top notch. Only played in the backyard so far, but very happy with purchase. Ill grab the larger one too for longer trips. Great job Pingora.

Love this lightweight pack. It has all the features I need for a day hike. I especially appreciate the shoulder harness pockets. There is ample room for my iPhone and snacks. There’s plenty of room in the main compartment for a layer, my first aid kit, and water. Love the yellow and blue color too. I highly recommend checking out this backpack.

Really pleased with the quality of the pack. Sturdy and thoughtful construction. fits everything I need. I work in the ski industry as a ski lift mechanic and that's what I'm primarily using the pack for, I'll report back with long term durability.

I have only used the pack once on a 6 mile hike/run. I was carrying a water bottle and extra layers.The pack was very comfortable and stayed put even when running downhill. I have had many small packs and so far this one rates near the top. I like it's clean simple design. Not too many pockets to lose things and very comfortable secure fit.

I have loveeeee this backpack. I've done long and short day tours and I can do it all with this thing. The ONLY thing that I'd say is the should straps don't really fit a full 500 mL bottle all that well and I don't believe theres anywhere for a bladder tube to come through either- but those are minor things. Easy of use, comfort, and style 10/10. Highly recommend!

Love this pack! The roll top lets me pack helmet in the interior no matter how much I stuff in. The full posterior zipper makes it easy to access shell or water bottle when on a tour. Only comment is the chest strap buckles are hard to fasten with mitts on.

Customer service beyond compare. Our delivery got screwed up and they folks were incredibly generous and helpful in making it right. Truly rare

I’ve used and gone through a lot of packs and Vivid stands out. there’s thought of ease put into the use of the pack. from different roll top fastening options (if carrying skis in A frame style, the roll top clips to itself instead of on the sides that would otherwise block buckle use) to different ways the pack can carry your skis. when first seeing ads for the pack, I honestly though the zippered back panel was a gimmick. it has become a favorite feature due to ease of packing to retrieving items during transitions and the tour in general. the zippered mesh pocket on the inside of the back panel was an awesome surprise and a great place to store extra snacks. there’s even a sectional pocket inside the main compartment to separate gear. my only critique is to move the female receiver of the helmet strap (the one inside the top of the bag) to above the small zippered pouch. this would allow for the pouch to hang freely and ease up access when a helmet is stored inside. it’s an easy work around though… I just don’t store items that I frequently need in there. great pack! i’ve had it on a few different styled tours with mixed scenarios and it has proven to be logical and fast. it is now my go to for skiing.

I ordered this pack after seeing a reel displaying it's functionality. I will firmly support the design and material of the pack. My recent trips have been an overnight bag with an UL quilt, insulated pad, bivy, shelter, cook set, coffee, UL pillow, down booties and a hardshell jacket with mitts. The total weight was around 13lbs including the bag. Superior quality and stylish.

I like it a lot. Carries well, robust construction and robust zippers too. I am still searching for a drink flask that will fit in the shoulder strap though...
I think it is the best on the market, mostly because of the quality of materials and the design features.

Great!

I am absolutely loving the vivid 27 pack. It has all of the features that I'm looking for in a backcountry ski backpack. It's the perfect size to carry everything I need for standard tours.And plenty of space for bigger missions as well.

Durable, great features, breathable on the back, plenty of room for gear needed for a day tour (water, snacks, extra layers, etc).

So far really liketge 35L. One day of Backcountry Skiing and two days ice climbing so far!
The design is great and I like the ability to compartmentalize gear between the main body and the roll top ( an internal strap makes this possible).

Ice tool carry is perfect.
